“UNKNOWN Unit is 2023 Airstream RV International 23 ft Travel Trailer. My concern is that the manufacturer does not provide proper tire inflation guidance. They only state what amounts to be the maximum tire pressure from the tire mfr. Not a recommended pressure which should be much lower. Goodyear…”
